Back of Case - PS2 (US):

Play with
Up To 4 Players!

Venture with the Turtles to shell and back in TMNT™2: BattleNexus™. Pick up the action on a strange new planet with mysterious new technology. Two tail-kickin' modes deliver green-knuckled action including Story and BattleNexus Mode!

The heroes in a half-shell are back on PlayStation 2, and this time they're all in it together.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: BattleNexus once again captures the spirit of the hit animated TV show in an action-packed PlayStation adventure. This time, it's possible for four players to take on the roles of Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello and Raphael simultaneously - provided you have a Multitap, of course.

Choose your favourite turtle and battle against armies of adversaries and huge boss enemies over five massive worlds. You'll come across friendly and fiendish faces from the cartoon in the main Story Mode, which takes plots from the second season of the series and challenges you to pick a path through them.

Unleash over 30 different attacks on your opponents, including moves that are specific to each Turtle. You'll even get a chance to pit your ninja skills against your friends in BattleNexus Mode, which lets you scrap for supremacy in specially-designed combat arenas.

With beautiful cel-shaded characters and backdrops that mimic the look of the show, this is the closest you'll get to entering the world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Simultaneous four-player Turtle action with Multitap

Over 50 stages with multiple routes

Unlock hidden secrets in the Antique Shop, including the original TMNT arcade game

As if the Turtles weren't strangers in a strange land on Earth, they get
zapped into a whole other world. After a new time- and space-warping
device falls into the wrong hands, the Turtles find themselves exiled on
an alien planet. Our green heroes and a robot named Fugitoid must defeat
the planet's enemies and get back to earth. Could Shredder be behind all
of this?

You and up to three friends can play alongside each other in Story Mode,
which includes 17 levels that center on the origins of Shredder and the
Turtles. Each player selects his Turtle of choice and sets off to give the
boot to the Foot soldiers. Not all turtles are created equal. In addition
to having his own special martial arts training, each Turtle has special
non-combat abilities. Donatello, for example, uses his computer literacy
to hack systems and open doors, while Raphael uses his strength to push
large crates out of the way.

As you play, you collect special crystals that can improve your
characters' attributes. During gameplay, the Turtles come across special
antiquities that unlock bonuses, such as characters, artwork and minigames.

If you're taking on the world by yourself, you'll switch between Turtles
on the fly by pressing the Z Button. Your cel-shaded super ninja of choice
takes center stage and performs whatever task you choose. Because the
fixed 3/4-overhead view camera sometimes drifts, the action isn't always
centered in the middle of the frame. This is a pretty minor annoyance,
though.

The game also features the Battle Nexus Mode and other tournament
features. Battle Nexus Mode lets you play competitively against any of
your friends brave enough to take you on.

Bottom Line

Have shell, will battle. The Turtles look to bring a little "pow" to the
Nintendo GameCube.

The action is packed into another exciting series of adventures with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus. Run with the Turtle dudes as they show off their new Ninja abilities against all new opponents. Only the best can turn chaos into control with simultaneous play for up to four players in both cooperative and head-to-head modes.
